Hi all! This is my first time posting here and I hope I have the right thread. I bought a Michaelangelo figure for my brother but it has a defect. It has two left hands instead of a right and a left. Is this figure worth anything, or should I have Playmates replace it? I'd return it to the store, but it was the last one.

I've seen the same commericals but have yet to find the figures in store. From what I have seen on different websites, it would seem that the next wave hits late March - early April. But that will only have Stockman, Leatherhead, Snakeweed, some re-issues, and more Turtle remakes (stealth turtles I think).

toynewsi.com has a review, pics, and a video up for each of the three new figures. If you look at the back of the packaging for one of the figures, you will see pics of the Rat King & Cochroach the Terminator.My kids and I can't wait for the new figure!

To all who have asked, the classic Turtles have been out since last fall. They just happen to sell at an insanely fast rate and aren't carried by many retailers. I'm not sure about wave two's release date yet.

As far as wave two of the Nickelodeon line, I have yet to find anything either. I'm not collecting TMNT anymore since I recently sold my entire collection, but my nephew really wants the new ones so I have to stay on the lookout.

Wave Two of the Classics will have a re-pack of the original 4 Turtles. I think they'll be more widely available then. Playmates was a little skiddish about their first run selling, but now that it's a huge success, I think we'll see a wider roll out.

That is very good to hear, because I was not happy about selling mine and I thought I'd be paying a lot more to get another set. Even though I'm not collecting TMNT anymore I feel it necessary to have those because they are just so good, and Bebop and Rocksteady look even better.

Spied two two figures (and a new cardback) yesterday at Walmart. The first was a new version of the Kraang (the actual alien looks much better with tendrils). Or at least it looked new to me.

The second was Leatherhead. I was very excited to pick him up . . . until I noticed that he has no jaw joint. Yup, you can't open the mouth on the one mutant who's scariest because of his snapping jaws.

Worse still, they sculpted him with the mouth CLOSED. How dumb is that? Plus, he's the same size as the Turtles.

Come on, guys! It's not like you've got a major hit on your hands. Put some more money into the sculpts and articulation. The Turtles themselves are great! The supporting characters . . . not so much.

So ultimately, I left them there. But they are starting to hit for those of you looking.

Man, I hope Beebop and Rocksteady don't disappoint.
